Age: 9

Pakistan’s brightest youth got his first taste of computers at the age of 4 and began training for exams when he was seven. With father Shah Thobani serving as CEO of Thobson Technologies, Shafay was given access to a 1,000-square-foot training facility featuring desktops, routers, and other specialized hardware. He's become the youngest person to ever qualify as a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist after scoring 91 percent on the exam. A stringent study schedule of eight hours a day for 13 months will earn you that score.
